Economic Equity

Against enormous odds, longtime Detroit residents have forged a new path for what post-industrial cities can be. In the face of a devastated economy, Detroiters have kept small businesses going, established urban farms and nurtured local food systems, created alternative sharing economies, and curated community spaces rooted in arts and culture. Our Economic Equity Practice works closely with our community partners to strengthen these solutions, providing legal support for community land trusts, housing and worker cooperatives, and enterprises led by returning citizens.
